We’ve had some nights lately with lows in the mid-teens.
We have 5 seed catalogs, but I know that more will be arriving. We’re going to concentrate on tomatoes, peppers, parsley, rosemary, basil, cucumbers, squash and lettuces. Our little carrots and some of our tomatoes were failures last year, but we had fun. We may even do the container corn again, just for kicks.

We have some leftover seeds as well, and I think that there’s a good chance that they’ll sprout, given our previous experience.

Most of the seeds do sprout ok for about 2 years, then some start slacking - especially corn.

That reminds me of a question I have: If you have a small space, and can’t use a whole packet of seeds, what’s the best way to try to save them - or CAN they be saved?
